THE parents of a teenager who died at a house in Crewe have talked of their many happy memories of him.

Roy and Janet Stanley, of Badger Avenue, whose son Steven, 18, died three weeks ago at the age of 18, said he had left a good impression on all he met.

People from as far as Poland arrived in Crewe on Friday to celebrate Steven's life at his funeral, and his father Roy said he did not even realise Steven had so many friends. He said: 'There were well over 200 people at his funeral, and I did not know at least 50% of them. Janet and I were really touched that they all turned up.'

In tribute to their friend, hundreds of teenagers sported trouser legs tucked into one of their socks just like Liverpool football fan Steven.

He had attended Malbank, Ruskin and Victoria High schools after completing his primary education at Crewe's Monks Coppenhall School.

He collapsed at a house on Westminster Street on Friday, March 25, and police launched an investigation into his death.

Police are yet to release details of the cause of death as they are awaiting the result of a toxicology report.

Two men were arrested and released on bail pending investigations. One of them is a youth who is suspected of supplying a class-A drug.
